I Am CCNY: Daniela Agudelo, Class of 2020
Majors:Bilingual Childhood Education and Psychology. After taking three years off following my third semester of Environmental Engineering and working full time as a youth soccer program supervisor, I realized I wanted to pursue Education. As a native Spanish speaker and ELL student, I chose to honor and support the immigrant community I belong to by adding that bilingual aspect to my pedagogy studies at CCNY. As for Psychology, I saw a great opportunity for both majors to complement each other and aid in my own development as an educator. CCNY Activity:Women's Soccer team CCNY Highlight: Returning after a three-year gap with a purpose set in mind and having support around me from professors, advisors and coaches set me up for success. I made my comeback, stronger than ever.
